impeachment expungement for the rump

 Nancy Pelosi  said on Sunday that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was “playing politics” with the idea of expunging former President Donald rump’s two impeachments.“Kevin is, you know, playing politics. It is not even clear if he constitutionally can expunge those things.

If he wants to put his members on the spot, his members in difficult races on the spot, that is a decision he has to make. But this is not responsible,”

McCarthy said in a private call with the rump that he personally backed the idea of expunging the former president’s two impeachments and would bring it up to the conference to gauge support.

However, he has not scheduled a floor vote, and when asked about the idea on Thursday, McCarthy said it should “go through committee like anything else.

”The California Republican has been working overtime to placate rump after an interview last month in which McCarthy said he thinks the former president can win in 2024 but did not know if he was the “strongest” candidate, prompting outrage from the rump advisers and allies.

McCarthy called the rump to apologize after the interview, claiming he misspoke.
